Predicting Wetlands in the Thompson-Okanagan Region

Geodesic Solutions has been collaborating with the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, and Thompson-Nicola Conservation Collaborative to enhance our understanding of the wetland ecosystems in the Thompson-Okanagan region.

At the heart of this effort is Kristina’s extensive expertise in wetland ecosystems and predictive modelling. She has developed advanced machine learning models that integrate data from sources such as Earth observation satellite imagery, LiDAR, and ground truthing to accurately predict wetland locations and their characteristics. These models provide crucial insights into how wetlands function within the broader landscape, supporting conservation efforts and informing land-use decisions to protect these vital ecosystems from threats like climate change and development.

Together, Kristina’s ecological expertise and Evan’s technical GIS capabilities allow us to deliver a holistic approach to wetland identification and conservation. By combining analytical precision with practical insights, we deliver comprehensive solutions that foster sustainable environmental management in the Thompson-Okanagan region.
